Sending data to wingmen?

[JG-1_Vogel]

Is it possible to send mark point data to wingmen using the datalink? It would be great to allow flight members to instantly slew to the target group you're looking at to coordinate attacks if they have trouble finding them. In the Ka-50 the datalink is essential and it would seem silly for it not to be possible in the Hog.

as mentioned above and you can also send text messages.

And in addition to sending a text message you can also send the target message in a way you'd recieve from the AI JTAC. This way the receiver will receive an attack order which he/she can accept or cancel. Take note though, the elevation of the target as given in the attack message is bugged right now so you'll have to manually adjust it. Edited April 14, 2015 by JayPee

This video walks you though exactly what i think you are asking about

Just set your flight to same group and each A-10C as own ID in TAD. Then you can see each others SPI moving in TAD, and you can make others SPI as your own and slave all sensors to there.

 

Very fast and easy way to know where everyone is looking at and then just report via Radio what you find etc.

 

That makes A-10C very nice to fly in multiplayer. I still prefer KA-50 ABRIS and data link as its even faster and memorize more different points (deleting them is not fun).

 

The TAD in A-10C makes a huge benefit for flight to coordinate attacks and watch each others because realtime updates.

yes you can. just set your SPI (by looking at HUD bottom left corner, should read TAD, TGP, MAV or TDC). Then on TAD ensure you see your wingman slew cursor over him, then TMS forward short, then click SEND OSB on TAD. He now has a new tasking with your SPI.

Is it working with AI wingman as well or you are talking in MP environment only?

Thanks

MP environment only. AFAIK SPI sharing ON or OFF won't help for AI wingman. He will either spot targets 50km away.. or remain blind to enemies just in front of his (plane's) nose.

IIRCC then SEND function does not included correct elevation so for MP at least you are better off with broadcast SPI, as this included correct elevation data.

For single player missions?

Hi all, this is prob a stupid question but can this be used in single player campaign missions or is this only for real time multiplayers?

You can turn on the SPI broadcaster, and tell the wingman to attack a specific target based on your SPI.
